The risks of AI are not that it becomes self aware and has it's own intentions that are contrary to that of humans. There are massive risks by simply putting decent AI on killing machines for "defense" and the new calculus of putting various plans into action now that the lives of our brave young men and women are not at risk. We already see some of this with drone attacks. It's just so easy to drone somebody, and so hard to verify, in the moment, that we will only kill the bad guy. Never mind the logic that we just kill anyone anywhere in the world because we're good and they are bad. Not being a Pollyanna here it's a new option that we did not have before and that option takes on it's own logic and momentum. This technology will not be limited to the good guys and even in the case of "the good guys" new options are opened up and robots do not question the morality or validity of their orders.
